EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN

We go beyond the sun, sand and tan at this tropical paradise

- Words DEANNE PANDAY

The Maldives transcends the label of a tropical paradise; it is an exquisite sanctuary of pristine white sands, sun-drenched shores, and bright turquoise waters. Known for its luxurious charm, especially the iconic overwater villas, it's the perfect escape for those seeking peace, relaxation, and a touch of adventure. This unique mix of serenity and excitement persuaded us to escape to this archipelago.

In the Maldives, the choice of property shapes the entire journey. For us, OBLU SELECT Sangeli did just the job Situated in the idyllic North-Western tip of Malé Atoll, housed on the Sangeli island, this five-star property is a 50-minute speedboat ride away from the Velana International Airport, whisking us into a world of serene luxury.

The 50 minutes aboard the boat slipped by in the blink of an eye, especially with the captivating sight of dolphins gracefully gliding beside us. Spotting these magnificent mammals in their natural habitat was a mesmerising experience that set the tone for the rest of the vacation.
